Lol.

Piss off Ash.

I went down there on Tuesday and they were just about to start on it. I'll be down there tomorrow to drop off something so I'll see how they're going. I've got a week off work the week after next so I should have some decent progress there.

I've decided to give the -5's a run first, Atleast to get a baseline and to see how much of a difference this head has made.

I also got my balance tube back from HKS as they have ported it to suit the head. I'll put pics of that up when I get it back from Hypertune on Friday.

less faggotry more build thread!

Dave, I like it, no bullshit and straight to the point !!

Paul will never have this engine finished.

Infact this mystical japanese head doesn't even exist. He just copied some pictures from the depths of google

Ash , I can tell you its 100% for real as I had to lug the bloody thing in my carry on back from Jappa.

No I'm not Mike.

If you were would be a good basis for comparison to other results... we dont race flow benches (or dynos) but it is the only measuring stick we have to go by for heads.

ok, just caught up from like page 3 hahaha :D

as for your suspension, i don't think they'll be too firm if the shocks are up for it. I believe my Arragosta's are 14/12 kg springs which i was absolutely dreading, but really, they're fine on the road. So i reckon you're R-tunes will be fine...

in fact, man up... get some silly Jap rate springs in there! :D

Agreed and the best way to measure your gains with back to back dyno testing. I can't imagine the withdrawal symptoms u are experiencing Paul...almost there

Yeah getting there man. This thing is gonna cop the biggest raping of its life when its back together!

Yeah I know man, however it's so close to being put together that Im not going to take such a critical part away from the builder. Sick of waiting.... Need to be launching!

Well, i've had them in the car for a little bit (100 kms or so). They were firm but also compliant (if that makes sense). I'd it's the valving in them. I was expecting it to be 4 gum tree stumps in there. That was on 19's with 30 series tyres, so i'd hope to think that with a 265-285 35 x 18 tyre will help.... even if ever so slightly.

OK. Finally a little update

I got my balance tube back from HKS. That got ported and matched up to the port size and shape of my head

I took it out to Hypertune so it could get modified for whats called the "JUN cooling mod"... Well that seems to be the most common name for it.

Keen eyes will notice the 6 holes where the air would be have now been filled up and the water galleries have been tapped to accept a fitting. Out of each of these there will a -4 line that goes to a header tank. The wiring loom has to move so that will be rerun under the runners of the plenum.

Also there has been a camshaft change. Unigroup (Well Yavuz) went and picked a lobe that was much more aggresive than what the Japs have to offer.

Very nice paul. Good to see progress mang. I might take you up on that offer too mate. Ill call you about it tomorrow and we can organise something. Interested to see the camshafts too. Lift change? duration change?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
